Today is the home opener for the Yankees in their new stadium. So to mark the occasion, today's "As Seen On TV" spotlight is on former right-fielder Paul O'Neill: For a quick recap of his career, here's the thumbnail from Wikipedia:

Paul Andrew O'Neill (born February 25, 1963 in Columbus, Ohio) is a former right fielder Major League Baseball player who won five World Series while playing for the Cincinnati Reds (1985-1992) and New York Yankees (1993-2001). In a 17 year career, O'Neill compiled a lifetime batting average of .288, 281 home runs, 1,269 runs batted in, and 2,105 hits. O'Neill won the American League batting title in 1994 with a .359 average. He was also a five-time All-Star, playing in 1991, 1994, 1995, 1997, and 1998.

For "As Seen On TV", this image was taken from the TV movie "Joe Torre: Curveballs Along The Way".

And today's installment is dedicated to my "Iddiot" friend Jennie who - despite her British origins - is devoted to the Yankees.......

As the Trickster once said, "Reality is boring, that's why I change it whenever I can."
I'm just "The Man Who Viewed Too Much", and "Inner Toob" is a blog exploring and celebrating the 'reality' of an alternate universe in which everything that ever happened on TV actually takes place.
Most of my theories about the TV Universe come from thinking inside the box and thus can't be proven. But I've never been one to shy away from a tall tale.....
